The Chlamydia trachomatis DNA Real-Time PCR kit coded CTDNA.CE is intended for the qualitative  detection of Chlamydia trachomatis DNA in human urethral/cervical swabs and urine with a simultaneous control of the extraction/amplification reaction  through an Internal Control (IC).

The kit has been adapted for the use on the Real-Time Thermacyclers ABI 7500 Sequence Detection System® (Applied BiosystemsTM*), or Miniopticon® (BioradTM**) or MX3000P® (StratageneTM***).

Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), an obligate intracellular bacterium, is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide. CT infection may cause urethritis, cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease in women. Than 50% of Chlamydia trachomatis infections are asymptomatic, they may remain undetect for extended periods of time. Untreated or undiagnosed cervical infections in females can ascend into the upper genital tract, causing pelvic inflammatory disease and ectopic pregnancy. Infertility in males and females can result from untreated or undiagnosed chlamydial infections.
